మోహన్ లాల్ లూసిఫర్ కలెక్షన్లను దాటలేక పోయిన చిరంజీవి గాడ్ ఫాదర్

మెగాస్టార్ చిరంజీవి నటించిన తాజా చిత్రం గాడ్ ఫాదర్ అక్టోబర్ 5 న విడుదలైంది, కాగా ఈ చిత్రం మలయాళంలో హిట్ అయిన లూసిఫర్ యొక్క అధికారిక తెలుగు రీమేక్ గా తెరకెక్కిన విషయం తెలిసిందే. మాతృకకి పృథ్వీరాజ్ సుకుమారన్ దర్శకత్వం వహించగా మలయాళ సూపర్ స్టార్ మోహన్ లాల్ ప్రధాన పాత్రలో నటించారు.

చిరంజీవి లూసిఫర్‌ని రీమేక్ చేస్తున్నారని తెలిసిన క్షణం నుంచే, ఈ నిర్ణయం సరైనదేనా కాదా అని చాలా రకాల చర్చలు జరిగాయి. ఈ సినిమా చిరంజీవి ఇమేజ్‌కి సరిపోదని, అనవసరంగా రీమేక్ చేస్తున్నారని కొందరు సోషల్ మీడియాలో అభిప్రాయపడ్డారు.

చిరంజీవి లాంటి స్టార్‌కి అవసరమైన కమర్షియల్ అప్పీల్ లేనందున లూసిఫర్ రీమేక్ అనేది తప్పుడు ఆలోచన అని కొందరు మెగా అభిమానులు కూడా అభిప్రాయపడ్డారు. అయితే, మెగాస్టార్ చిరంజీవి ఈ చిత్రాన్ని రీమేక్ చేయడానికే ముందుకు వెళ్లి ఈ దసరాకి గాడ్ ఫాదర్‌ను విడుదల చేశారు.

గాడ్‌ఫాదర్‌ ప్రచార కార్యక్రమాల్లో చిరంజీవి మాట్లాడుతూ లూసిఫర్‌లోని కొన్ని భాగాలు తనకు నచ్చలేదని, ఏదో అసంపూర్ణంగా అనిపించిందని, అందుకే మార్పులు చేశానని చెప్పారు. లూసిఫర్ నుండి గాడ్ ఫాదర్ వరకు కొన్ని మార్పులు వచ్చాయి, అది మన తెలుగు ప్రేక్షకులకు సరిపోయేలా ఫ్యామిలీ యాంగిల్‌ని బాగా ఎమోషనల్ చేయడం వంటివి పని చేశాయనే చెప్పాలి.

అయితే మంచి కంటెంట్‌తో పాటు పాజిటివ్ టాక్ వచ్చినప్పటికీ గాడ్ ఫాదర్ సినిమా బాక్సాఫీస్ వద్ద అనుకున్న స్థాయిలో ఆడలేదు. నిజానికి చాలా ఏరియాల్లో, చిరంజీవి గత సినిమాలైన ఖైదీ నంబర్ 150, సైరా నరసింహ రెడ్డి మొదటి రోజు షేర్ కన్నా గాడ్ ఫాదర్ ఇన్ని రోజుల వరకు కలెక్ట్ చేసిన షేర్ తక్కువ కావడం గమనార్హం. ఇక గాడ్ ఫాదర్ సినిమా ప్రపంచ వ్యాప్తంగా లూసిఫర్ కంటే తక్కువ కలెక్ట్ చేయడం ఆశ్చర్యకరం.

లూసిఫర్ చిత్రం ప్రపంచ వ్యాప్తంగా గ్రాస్ 130 కోట్లకు పైగా వసూలు చేసింది. గాడ్‌ఫాదర్ కేవలం తెలుగులోనే కాక హిందీ భాషలో విడుదలైంది మరియు అన్ని భాషలను కలిపితే కూడా గ్రాస్ 100 కోట్ల కంటే తక్కువగా ఉంటుంది.

సాధారణంగా తెలుగు మార్కెట్ మలయాళ మార్కెట్ కంటే చాలా మైళ్ల దూరంలో ఉంటుంది. అయినా కూడా గాడ్ ఫాదర్ బాక్సాఫీస్ వద్ద లూసిఫర్ నంబర్లను బీట్ చేయడంలో విఫలమవడం ట్రేడ్ వర్గాలను విస్మయపరిచింది.

Poor openings for all Diwali releases at the Box-Office

This Diwali festival season, Telugu audiences are having an eventful weekend at the Tollywood box office with multiple new movies releasing week. The list includes Ginna, Ori Devuda, Sardar, and Prince.

Manchu Vishnu came up with Ginna, which has been promoted as a horror entertainer. Vishnu took a fair bit of time and promoted this film and hoped to make a comeback with the same. The film has released yesterday. Vishnu is not in the best of forms and he has been not able to pull the audience to theaters. Ginna collected a mere 10 lakhs share at the box office on day 1.

Another film is Ori Devuda. This film is a remake of the hit Tamil film, Oh My Kadavule and it had a good buzz around it. Also, Venkatesh acting in an important role worked positively for the movie. Featuring Vishwak Sen and Mithila Palkar as the lead pair, this movie opened to an approx 1 cr share at the box office.

Then come to the two dubbed films – Sardar and Prince. While Sardar has Karthi in the lead role, Prince features Siva Karthikeyan. Prince got mixed talk and Sardar received a good talk. Both the films minted 1 CR of share on their opening day.

Jathi Ratnalu director Anudeep faced a setback with FDFS and he had to give a good comeback with Prince. Even having a star like Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role. He’s not been successful in delivering hit content.

As for Sardar, Karthi has a decent market in the Telugu states, by looking at the trailer itself audience found the movie promising and the team lived up to the expectations of the audience.

Sardar has received good response than other releases this week and it is expected to be the winner of this Diwali season in both Telugu and Tamil languages.

Disappointing opening for RRR at the Japan box office

After creating several box office records in India and winning the hearts of global audiences through special screenings and OTT platforms, RRR has now landed in Japan. SS Rajamouli, Jr NTR and Ram Charan are currently in the easternmost country of the world to promote Tollywood’s globally most loved film.

Despite multiple public appearances and special events, the film has not managed to hit the opening target that was intended. RRR grossed just around 1Cr on opening day. This is quite disappointing considering the expectations created by the film.

The film should grow on weekends in a big way to deliver good numbers. Thimultistarrer should collect at least 30Cr+ gross in full run to satisfy the promotional budget and efforts.

SS Rajamouli’s action drama RRR is created benchmarks on OTT as well. In its first week of release on Netflix, it was watched for a whopping 18,360,000 hours on Netflix from 23rd May to 29th May. It has completed a whopping 14 weeks as the top non-English film on Netflix.

RRR managed to cross the Rs. 1000 cr mark at the worldwide box office in 16 days. This is SS Rajamouli’s second film to achieve this feat. Only 4 Indian films have crossed the 1000Cr gross mark worldwide. After Baahubali2, Dangal, and RRR, KGF 2 became the latest film to enter this exclusive club.

Now Prince also getting the same response. Even his fans are not liking the film and say that there is no story at all and the comedy was very silly they felt.

Especially the Telugu audience is giving better reviews and talking about the movie. We have to wait and see how Prince performs on the weekend and Diwali festival days.

Ginna movie review: Routine attempt that falls flat

Movie: Ginna
Rating: 1.75/5
Cast: Manchu Vishnu, Payal Rajput, Sunny Leone
Director: Suryaah
Produced By:  Ava Entertainment and 24 Frames Factory
Release Date: 21st October

After a gap of more than a year and a half, Manchu Vishnu is returning to the big screen with his ambitious project Ginna. His last release Mosagallu was a massive disaster and the actor is looking to mark a strong comeback with Ginna

The movie has an interesting star cast with names like Kona Venkat, Payal Rajput, and Sunny Leone in prominent roles. Manchu Vishnu feels this will be a comeback for him and the film is being promoted as a complete entertainer. The movie is out and so is the audience’s verdict. Let’s check out what worked and what didn’t


Story: Ginna (Vishnu) lives in a village called Rangampet and has a huge burden of unpaid loans on him. To clear his loans, he targets Renuka (Sunny Leone) who’s an NRI and has returned to Rangampet on a personal mission. Ginna along with his girlfriend Swathi (Payal Rajput) plans to con Renuka and settle his loans. However, Renuka is not the simpleton that she’s pretending to be and she has her own plans. What’s the twist? and how does the story progress? This is what the movie follows.

Performances: Acting wise there is nothing much to talks about in the film. The film purely banks on Sunny Leone and Payal Rajput’s glamour along with Manchu Vishnu’s feeble attempts to grow into a mass hero with fights and dances. The extended cast of Vennela Kishore, Naresh, Satyam Rajesh and co. have standard roles with not much essence to the plot. Sunil makes a brief appearance however, the character has not been created to add much value to the proceedings.

Analysis: Ginna is a half-hearted, predictable entertainer that had potential but goes awry in execution. Chota K Naidu’s visuals and Anup Rubens music are one of the better elements of the movie. The movie’s routine plot and passable performances from the lead cast doesn’t allow the audience to enjoy the twists and turns of the story

Plus Points:

  • Some scenes in first half
  • Twists

Minus Points:

  • Cliched screenplay
  • Poorly written characters
  • Double meaning dialogues
  • Lead pair

Verdict: 

It’s high time Manch Vishnu does some brainstorming and comes up with plots that are better written with some redeeming qualities. Technically Ginna is good but that’s where the positives end. Better screenplay and removing some scenes would have definitely made Ginna a watchable fare.

తెలుగు ప్రేక్షకులు మంచు విష్ణుని పూర్తిగా మరిచిపోయారా?

మంచు మోహన్ బాబు తనయుడు మంచు విష్ణు తన కొత్త సినిమా జిన్నాను ప్రేక్షకుల ముందుకు ఈ వారం తీసుకొచ్చారు. ఈ సినిమాలో హీరో పాత్రలో నటిస్తూనే మంచు విష్ణు తన సొంత బ్యానర్‌లో ఈ సినిమాని నిర్మించారు. ఈ సినిమాలో విష్ణుతో పాటు ఇద్దరు బ్యూటీలు పాయల్ రాజ్‌పుత్, సన్నీలియోన్ కీలక పాత్రల్లో నటించారు.

మొదట దసరా సందర్భంగా అక్టోబర్ 5న జిన్నా చిత్రాన్ని విడుదల చేయాలని మంచు విష్ణు ప్లాన్ చేసినా.. మెగాస్టార్ చిరంజీవి గాడ్ ఫాదర్, కింగ్ నాగార్జున ది ఘోస్ట్ వంటి భారీ సినిమాలతో పోటీ కారణంగా ఈ సినిమా విడుదల తేదీని అక్టోబర్ 21కి వాయిదా వేయాల్సి వచ్చింది.

అయితే చిత్రంగా ఈ తేదీకి కూడా మంచు విష్ణు.. విశ్వక్ సేన్ సినిమా ఓరి దేవుడా, శివ కార్తికేయన్ యొక్క ప్రిన్స్ మరియు కార్తి నటించిన సర్దార్ సినిమాలతో పోటీని ఎదుర్కోవలసి వచ్చింది. అన్ని సినిమాలు దీపావళి పండుగ వారాంతంలో ప్రయోజనం పొందాలని కోరుకున్నాయి. అందుకే అన్ని సినిమాలు నిన్న అంటే అక్టోబర్ 21న విడుదలయ్యాయి.

మిగతా మూడు చిత్రాలు ఎంతో కొంత మంచి స్పందన పొంది బాక్సాఫీస్ వద్ద మంచి వసూళ్లను నమోదు చేసినప్పటికీ, జిన్నా మాత్రం చెప్పుకోదగ్గ ఓపెనింగ్స్ పొందడంలో పూర్తిగా విఫలమైంది. సినిమా కలెక్షన్లు పక్కన పెడితే కనీసం సినిమాను పట్టించుకునే నాథుడు లేడు. జిన్నా సినిమాకు వచ్చిన స్పందన చూస్తుంటే మంచు విష్ణు సినిమాలకు పాజిటివ్ రివ్యూలు వచ్చినా థియేటర్లలో చూసేందుకు ప్రేక్షకులు ఆసక్తి చూపడం లేదనిపిస్తోంది.

ఇక పై ప్రేక్షకులను థియేటర్‌లకు రప్పించాలంటే విష్ణు కొన్ని క్రేజీ కాంబినేషన్‌లలో సినిమాలు వేయాలి. జిన్నా సినిమా కోసం కొన్ని వివాదాలు సృష్టించి బజ్‌ని తీసుకురావడానికి విష్ణు అన్ని విధాలుగా ప్రయత్నించారు కానీ ఏవీ పని చేయలేదు.

ఔట్ అండ్ ఔట్ కామెడీ ఎంటర్‌టైనర్‌గా రూపొందిన జిన్నా పై మంచు విష్ణు చాలా ఆశలు పెట్టుకున్నారు. విడుదలకు ముందే సినిమా ప్రమోషన్‌కు ఎక్కువ సమయం కేటాయిస్తే ఈ సినిమా విజయం సాధిస్తుందనే అభిప్రాయాన్ని వ్యక్తం చేశారు. అయితే రిలీజ్ టైమ్ వచ్చే సరికి ఈ సినిమాకి ఇంత దారుణమైన స్పందన రావడం అతన్ని నిరాశకు గురి చేస్తుందనే చెప్పాలి.

ఇషాన్ సూర్య దర్శకత్వం వహించిన జిన్నా సినిమాను అవా ఎంటర్‌టైన్‌మెంట్ మరియు 24 ఫ్రేమ్స్ ఫ్యాక్టరీ సంయుక్తంగా నిర్మిస్తున్నాయి. ప్రముఖ రచయిత కోన వెంకట్ కథ, స్క్రీన్ ప్లే అందించారు. అనూప్ రూబెన్స్ సంగీతం సమకూర్చగా, ఛోటా కె నాయుడు కెమెరా వర్క్ చూసుకున్నారు.

Nagarjuna’s The Ghost OTT Streaming date and release partner

King Nagarjuna was last seen in the action thriller The Ghost, which generated good buzz before its release. But sadly, the film couldn’t perform well in its theatrical run due to inadequate execution. Sonal Chauhan played the love interest of Nag in the movie, and Praveen Sattaru of Garuda Vega fame is the director.

The news is that the film will premiere on its official streaming partner Netflix on November 2nd. Though the film didn’t perform well at the theaters, the action sequences were praised for their stylish presentation. And some felt that the story had the potential and could have been a rollercoaster ride and a blockbuster at the box office, but somehow the director couldn’t translate his thoughts onto the screen, which made the film tedious.

Besides Nagarjuna and Sonal Chauhan, The Ghost also stars Gul Panag, Anika Surendran, Manish Chaudhari, Ravi Varma, Shrikanth Iyyangar, and Bilal Hossein in pivotal roles. Actually, Kajal Agarwal was the first choice for the female lead role in the film, however, she couldn’t allott the dates due to pregnancy.

Presented by Sonali Rang, The Ghost has been produced by Suniel Narang, Puskur Ram Mohan Rao, and Sharrath Marar, under the Sri Venkateswara cinemas LLP & North star entertainment banners. The cinematography has been done by Mukesh G and the songs are done by Bharat – Saurabh and Mark k Robin. The background music for The Ghost is also given by Mark k Robin.

The story of the film revolves around Vikram, an Interpol field agent, who is on a mission to save a business magnet’s son. Despite suffering from anger management issues and nightmares related to past incidents, he takes up the mission only to later face more traumatic experiences.

This fills him with guilt, eventually adding more rage to his life. What follows is a series of events revolving around the underworld and how Vikram overcomes inner struggle along with the war against the underworld in the rest of the story.

Chiranjeevi’s Godfather is nowhere near Mohan Lal’s Lucifer at the box office

Megastar Chiranjeevi’s latest film Godfather released on October 5th, which was an official remake Telugu remake of the Malayalam hit Lucifer. The original film, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, starred superstar Mohanlal in the lead role.

The moment it was told that Chiranjeevi is remaking Lucifer, many talks and discussions happened that the decision was right or not. Some people especially on social media felt that the movie doesn’t suit Chiranjeevi’s image and he was unnecessarily doing it.

Even some of the mega fans also opined that Lucifer’s remake is a wrong idea as it doesn’t have the required commercial appeal for a Star like Chiranjeevi. However, Megastar Chiranjeevi went on to remake the film and released Godfather on this Dussera.

During the promotional programs of Godfather, Chiranjeevi said that he didn’t like some of the parts in Lucifer, he felt something is incomplete and hence he made the changes. There were some changes from Lucifer to Godfather which came good like the family angle was made better emotional to suit our Telugu audience.

But despite having good content and even getting positive talk, the Godfather movie has underperformed at the box office. In many areas, the film’s 2 weeks share is less than the day 1 share of previous Chiranjeevi movies like Khaidhi. No.150 and Syeraa Narasimha Reddy. And what more surprising is the Godfather movie collected less than Lucifer.

Lucifer’s worldwide gross is more than 130Cr, Godfather has released in Multiple languages and even if we put together the all languages together gross is also will be less than 100Cr. Normally Telugu market is miles ahead of the Malayalam market still God father failed to beat those numbers at the box office.

Ginna proved audience completely boycotted Manchu Vishnu movies

Manchu Mohan Babu’s son Manchu Vishnu has brought his new movie Ginna. Manchu Vishnu made this movie under his own banner while playing the lead character in this movie. Along with Vishnu, two beauties Payal Rajput and Sunny Leone acted in important roles in this movie.

Initially, Manchu Vishnu planned the Ginna movie’s release on October 5th on the occasion of Dussera, but due to competition with big movies like Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Godfather and King Nagarjuna’s Ghost, the movie had to postpone its release date to October 21st.

Even at this date, Manchu Vishnu had to face competition with Vishwak Sen’s Ori Devuda, Siva Karthikeyan’s Prince, and Karthi’s Sardar. All movies wanted to have the advantage of Diwali festival weekend and that’s why all movies were released yesterday i.e October 21st.

While other movies got good response and posted good numbers at the box office, Ginna has completely failed to get a notable start. Leave aside the numbers the movie didn’t even get noticed. By seeing the reception of Ginna, it looks like the audience is not interested to watch Manchu Vishnu’s movies in theatres even with positive reviews.

Vishnu needs to put some crazy combinations to bring the audience to the theatres, he has tried in all the ways to bring the buzz for Ginna by putting some controversy but nothing worked for him.

Made as an out-and-out comedy entertainer, Manchu Vishnu had high hopes for Ginna. Before release, he expressed the opinion that this movie will be successful by allocating more time for the promotion of the film. But when the release time came, the utterly disastrous response to this movie must have left him disappointed.

Directed by Ishaan Surya, Ginna is jointly produced by Ava Entertainment and 24 Frames Factory. Famous writer Kona Venkat has given the story and screenplay. Anup Rubens composed the music and Chhota K Naidu worked as the cinematographer. Payal Rajput appeared in the role of Pachalla Swati.

Sardar Movie Review – Different and Interesting

Movie: Sardar
Cast: Karthi, Rashi Khanna, Rajisha Vijayan, Laila and Chunkey Pandey
Rating: 3/5
Director: PS Mithran
Produced By: S Lakshman Kumar
Release Date: 21st October

Actor Karthi, who entered the industry as the younger brother of Tamil star hero Suriya, quickly made a name for himself with a variety of films. Sardar is the new film from Karthi. Let’s see what is special about this spy thriller directed by P.S.Mithran who has impressed previously with Vishal’s movie ‘Abhimanyudu’.

Story: Vijay Prakash (Karthi), a police inspector, is an orphan. As his father was branded as a traitor, his entire family committed suicide in his childhood and he was left alone. A police constable joins him and raises him. Even though Vijay Prakash earned a good name as SI, the image of being the son of a traitor haunts him. At such a time, he gets a chance to investigate the case of a woman named Manga (Laila) who is fighting against the water pipeline project in India. Before Vijay Prakash gets to her she is killed under mysterious circumstances, and it is branded as suicide, but Vijay Prakash learns that it was not suicide and she was killed. It is understood that there is a big conspiracy behind this. Who is behind all this? Who is Sardar? What is his link with the story? form the rest of the story.

Performances: Karthi never stuck to one image frame, he kept doing different stories that come to him from time to time. Khaki, Khaidi, and now Sardar. He played a character that had such depth and could show variations. Although the young character looks normal he gave a natural touch and made scope from it, and he gave a great performance in the title role Sardar. His dominance is visible throughout the film. Chunky Pandey has done well as the villain. Among the heroines, Rajisha Vijayan was impressed with her short screen time. Rashi Khanna is fine. Munish Kant impresses in the supporting role. The boy who played the role of a small child will be remembered. Laila shines after years in a supporting and important role.

Analysis: Tamil directors have a unique style of researching the things that happen around us and which we don’t know about. PS Mithran belongs to that category. Sardar’s movie’s story is also related to social issues. It seems very unique. A trap that we are unknowingly falling into and issuing a warning about our dangerously changing future. We used to drink clean water from ponds, rivers, and wells and live healthy life. Now we are drinking water in bottles, cans, and tanks. The basic plot of ‘Sardar’ is to say that all this is the merit of the water mafia.

Plus Points:

  • Interesting Plot and Narration
  • Karthi performance
  • Pre climax, Climax

Minus Points:

  • Some missing details
  • Length

Verdict: Sardar is a movie made with an Intriguing concept. While watching the movie we can understand that the director has researched a lot about the core plot. Scenes involving the water mafia and their attempt to keep all the water resources in the country under their control, the ill effects of water bottles, etc look surprising, thought-provoking, and a bit scary too. Without missing the interest in terms of the story, the movie moves forward with thrilling scenes from time to time. Pre-climax and climax scenes came impressive. The scope of the story is very large, and the narration is a bit confusing here and there so everything is not understandable. Even though there are minor problems like excessive length, ‘Sardar’ does not fail to thrill and surprise the audience. ‘Sardar’ succeeds in giving a different feel without missing commercial values.
